1:60 Airbus A380

[RunwayOneSixRight]

I wanted to start my New Years off right and what do I do!? I print this bad boy off, yup that is the Paper-replika Airbus A380-800 enlarged to 1:60 scale! (instead of 1:144).... Who can say no to an 8 foot wingspan!?

Well, time to start building!

(Also this model will have a lot of extra reinforcement.) And Shaun (Inky) is building this too!











MUCH MORE PROGRESS TO COME AND HAPPY NEW YEARS!

128 actually, but still! Cardboard, and lots of it!

You will need to build a strong wing box for that size. Much more than what this kit provides ( even scaled up ). Same for the fuselage. Also, the printed card stock will probably need to be heavier or else it will ripple.


Why stop at 1/60 scale? Why not go to 1/33 ( joking ).

In any case, I don't think you will be able to take it outside your room when you move out ( unless you build the wings with a removable feature ).


Have fun
